Failing Veneers & Crowns

When an individual has crowns or veneers installed, they typically rely on their dental work to remain in its current condition indefinitely. But what happens when veneers or crowns fall out? What causes crown and veneer failure, how can it be prevented, and what repair options are available should this issue occur?

Read on to learn more about crowns and veneers, as well as the ways Signature Dentistry Centennial can provide solutions for crown and veneer failure.

What Causes Veneer and Crown Failure?

There are a number of things that can cause or contribute to failing veneers or crowns, some of which have very little to do with the patient. The most common things that factor into these types of failure include:
  • Improper bonding
  • Ineffective tooth preparation
  • Poor alignment
  • Low-quality construction
  • Injuries to the teeth
  • Excessive Wear
  • Root canal infections

How To Maintain Veneers and Crowns

Once veneer or crown failure has occurred, it’s important for the patient to visit a qualified dentist to have the issue remedied.

However, if your crowns or veneers are relatively new, dentists recommend taking a few precautions in order to prevent failure.

Proper oral hygiene is a key component involved in preserving crowns or veneers, and in addition to regular brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, it’s also necessary to keep up with regular dental visits.

Additionally, to keep veneers and crowns in their best condition, limit smoking and drinking, don’t chew on hard, non-food items, and take care of your overall health.

Finally, when you’re brushing your teeth, do so gently so that your gums do not become irritated or start to recede. Gum recession can make it much easier for veneers and crowns to fail.
